Two winners this year: one male and one female. I have a whole rant about how the women are "girls" and the men are "guys" instead of "boys," but I'll spare you.

Alexa Anderson is the first up, and after a recap of her failure to make the Top 20 last year and her badgering by the judges this year, Tyce gives her the good news that she's made the Top 20 this year.

George Lawrence II is next up. Debbie Allen delivers the good news that he's in the Top 20. Will Thomas is also in, but doesn't get a recap because he's a cute white boy and doesn't need it. Megan, a cute blonde, gets told pretty quickly that she's out. As is Colin Fuller.

Amber Jackson, who made it to the Green Mile for Season 6 and was cut early in Las Vegas in Season 7, is elated to make the Top 20 this year.

So that's four contemporary dancers, who'll be dancing a contemporary routine from Tyce Diorio to Jessie J's acoustic cover of "We Found Love." There's a bench and lots of writhing. This song is awesome when it's Rihanna. It's irritating in this permutation.

So far, my favorite of this bunch is George. Oh, wow, Will's taller than Cat -- you don't see that often on this show.

Nigel tells Will he's got to move as quickly as the smaller dancers. Then he gives Amber a speech that basically boils down to "You're prettier when you smile." Alexa has "found her performance" and George is a shining star.

Mary praises George's leaps and notes that the women will all be excited to get him as a partner. Zooey is not offering much in the way of meaningful critique -- let's hope she warms up as the night goes on.

Editor's note: Zooey Deschanel is an android programmed to be cute.

Back to the Top 20 reveals -- this time we'll be focusing on ballroom dancers. First up is Nick Bloxsom-Carter, who breaks down in his interview, prompting me to yell, "There's no crying in ballroom!" And then he bawls in front of the judges and they let the poor kid go on way too long before they tell him he's in the Top 20.

They're sending the blonde ballroom friends Whitney Carter and Lindsey Arnold in front of the judges together. Mary, being the ballroom expert, does the talking and tells Whitney she's in the Top 20 and then fakes out Lindsey up for a few looooong seconds before telling her she's in the Top 20 as well.

So these three ballroom dancers are together to do a cha cha (to "Dance Again" by Jennifer Lopez featuring Pit Bull) choreographed by Jason Gilkinson. This triple dancing is weird, but they're doing their best with it -- Nick even manages to death spiral a woman with each arm at one point. There's a really weird bit of choreography that has Lindsey kind of crouched on all fours humping the ground in front of Nick's feet.

Mary makes me reach for the mute button (not the first, nor the last time this season). Mary wants Nick to be a little bit "stronger" and then gives no constructive criticism to Lindsey and Whitney.

Zooey is having trouble using her words and gives no real judging whatsoever. We must already be running short on time because Nigel doesn't get to talk at all.

Now we're going to see three "classically trained" dancers - Daniel Baker, Eliana Girard, and Chehon Wespi-Tschopp. First up is Eliana, who describes herself as "a clusterball of emotions." She's through. We find out that Daniel and Chehon both put professional careers on hold to audition for this season of the show.

They bring Daniel and Chehon out together in front of the judges and they give Daniel the good news, fake out Chehon and then give him the good news.

All three ballet dancers are out to dance, the men in shiny metallic pants and the woman in a metallic tutu and en pointe. The music starts out sounding very "classical" but changes into something more electronic midway through.

I'm really liking this routine -- it's graceful and powerful and just a touch weird. Ah, it was choreographed by Dwight (Rhoden) & Desmond (Richardson). I've loved every routine they've ever given this show.

Cat remarks that Eliana's skirt could be a deadly weapon. Cat adds that it looked like a "tough routine" and Nigel confirms it. There's brief commentary from Nigel and Mary, with none from Zooey.

Jazz dancers Tiffany Maher and Audrey Case are up next. Audrey helpfully points out how much she and Tiffany are alike so that I don't have to. Tiffany's up first and she's in! Audrey's up next and she's also in.

Abigail, Caitlyn, Katie, and Rebecca are all dismissed. Apologies if I spelled the names wrong; without on-screen graphics, I'm not even attempting surnames.

Next up is bellydancer Janelle Issis. And she's the first belly dancer ever to make the Top 20.
